on the eve of your 2nd birthday...

to my little guy,

as i put you to bed tonight, i was reminded of this two year journey we have been on together. it is so hard to believe that 2 years ago today i was in the beginning stages of labor. i remember so vividly the anticipation, excitement and fear that i felt. i had been waiting to meet you for so long that it almost didn't seem real when everything started falling into place. from the first moment i met you i was overcome with love, and it has grown insurmountably since.

you have taught me so much. i have failed and succeeded so many times as a mother in your short life, but somehow you have managed to come out unscathed. your affection, smile, laugh, and determination remind me to put things into perspective, because in the blink of my eye you have grown from a tiny baby into a beautiful little boy.

i love you with all of my heart.

love, mommy
